Register of Electors

Who is entitled to Vote?

Any person aged 18 years of age or over is entitled to vote. To be able to vote at an Election or Referendum, your name must be on the Register of Electors.  A person must be ordinarily resident at the address they wish to be registered.  A person may register from the age of 16 upwards as a pending elector.  Once they reach the age of 18 years, they will be automatically transferred to the Rolling Register of Electors. 

Citizenship of a person determines at which elections and referenda a person may vote, as follows:

• Irish Citizens: May vote at every election and referendum
• British Citizens: May vote at Dáil and Local Elections only.
• Other EU Citizens: May vote at European and Local Elections only.
• Non-EU Citizens: May vote at Local Elections only.
